Hiking

A super well-maintained, paid hiking trail through the cloud forest of Monteverde. Here, on the approx. 4 km long circular trail, you can enjoy the giant trees, lianas, bromeliads, frogs, and birds in peace. On the way, you will also reach a viewpoint on the watershed between the Pacific and the Caribbean Sea. However, since you are hiking here in the cloud forest, you will likely often be in the clouds and only have distant views on a few days a year. Attention, be sure to book tickets with a fixed time slot in advance: cloudforestmonteverde.com/visit-the-preserve
